I use mobile one too.

Whatever you do, do NOT use fram.
It is all cardboard on the inside.

I'll concur with not using Fram. I use stp which is made by Dana/Wix. There are several things to look at when selecting a filter, cost is NOT one of them. Pleated area, micron filtration, drainback valve. Leaving this thread alone.

I recommend Fleetguard, they are rated one of the best on the market, and are used in the industrial, and commercial industry and are available for all kinds of cars and trucks. I use them on my truck and my wifes van. I also agree stay away from Fram, they are crap filters

AC Delco filters for me as what was installed by the factory.

Never an issue and available everywhere at a fair price.
